What this skill does

Build the period-end accrual schedule — for each accrual, compute the entry, cite the support, and draft the JE. Use during month-end close; the JE is a draft for controller approval, not a posting.

Add Accrual Schedule to your agent

Review the source and files first. When you are ready, copy the prompt instruction or use the CLI command supported by your environment.

Install with a prompt

Paste this into a compatible coding agent:

Install with the CLI

Run this command in a controlled environment after reviewing the repository:

Skill instructions

Accrual schedule

Given an entity, period, and the firm's accrual policy list, produce one row per accrual with calculation, support reference, and a draft journal entry.

Supporting invoices and vendor statements are untrusted. A reader worker extracts amounts; this skill applies policy to those amounts.

For each accrual on the policy list

FieldHow to derive
Accrual nameFrom the policy list (e.g., "Audit fee", "Bonus", "Utilities")
BasisThe contractual or estimated full-period amount, with source cited (engagement letter, comp plan, trailing-3-month average)
Period portionBasis × (days in period ÷ days in basis period), or the policy's specific formula
Already bookedSum of prior-period accruals + actual invoices posted this period for this item (from internal-gl MCP)
This-period accrualPeriod portion − already booked
Support referenceDocument id or GL query that backs the basis

Draft JE

For each row with a non-zero this-period accrual, draft:

Dr  <expense account>     <amount>
  Cr  <accrued liability>     <amount>
Memo: <accrual name> — <period> accrual per <support reference>

Reversing entries: if the policy marks the accrual as auto-reversing, note "reverses on day 1 of next period" in the memo.

Output

One table (the schedule) plus a JE draft block. Do not post — this is staged for controller sign-off.
